Point 13: Music with Linux
Linux is a great Operation System for musicians and music students! You will get, completely free, a lot of the best existing programs for such purposes.
The different programms that I propose you to use for music are:
- Audacity∞, available for Linux and Windows, with wiki∞ etc. I am sorry, there is no special package available for Puppy at this time but you can install a SlackWare package (enter "slackware audacity" in a search engine like y! or google) by downloading it in "/" and clicking on the package... I did do so but I can not remember what from where I did download! The appropriate decompression program starts and installs your new package into the right directories!
- Lame∞ the classical MP3 encoder, is lame-3.93.1.tar, also is an official part of Puppy.
- Lilypond∞. See please the informations in Wikipedia. The PupDot packages offers you 3 packages to install. The installation method is the same as descripted under X virtual keyboard manager. You find the English Doc∞ on line.
- Rosegarden∞. See please the informations in Wikipedia. The PupDot packages offer to you the needed package to install. The installation method is the same as described under X virtual keyboard manager. Rosegarden is a very old project from Linux. This version is new and very well documented in books in English, German (and French, online). Please use the information offered on the official site:
